Israeli police remove a barricade set up by Jewish settlers in front of an entrance of the Jewish settlements of Neve Dekalim in the Gush Katif bloc of Jewish settlements in the southern Gaza Strip August 15, 2005. Israel set its Gaza pullout into motion on Monday, sealing off access to Jewish settlements in the occupied territory and giving settlers a 48-hour deadline to leave or be forcibly removed.
